steelman1991 Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 That's a helluva leap of faith. Theoretically might work, but I don't see it. Hope the club have some historic data that might lead them to this decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very modest inflationary increase would have been in order, but I'm not complaining if prices are frozen. Most folks wages or pensions have increased slightly. Inflation is now about 3%. In effect then, season tickets will be very slightly cheaper for many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate the sentiment, but not sure how this is going to make us any more competitve with others around us, unless of course they hope to sell another few hundred tickets - I just don't see it.

Hope the club have some historic data that might lead them to this decision. Im sure it's not the first time we've frozen prices. Actually having just googled it isnt. We did in in 2017 and 2021 as well. For me personally - I'm on a low income and everything helps. I do get a discount as I'm a student which is appreciated but if not for that I'd probably go 3 or 4 times a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do we need to compete with, only Motherwell fans buy Motherwell season tickets, so not increasing the prices is a good thing. A price increase even a modest one might have pushed the price beyond some people's budget. So if there's no need for an increase its happy days and a good move by the club. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the club have some historic data that might lead them to this decision. They certainly know whether season ticket sales have been increasing or decreasing year by year. If it's the latter, freezing prices might be an attempt to hold onto existing fans, as much as attract new ones. Plenty of folk on here have talked about jacking it in recently.

santheman Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Anyone who would have been prepared to pay more can always find other ways of putting money into the club. Starting or upping WS contributions Consider buying 50/50 tickets Etc etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 A freeze is a good decision in my opinion. If there was an increase I could have afforded it but not everyone is in as fortunate a position. I felt we blundered when we gave season ticket holders a free season a few seasons back. Even say offering them for £100 would have been some income. Anyway I am sure club have looked at finances so all current season ticket holders get it renewed and try and encourage other folk....ba b......ehhh I mean COYW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the club went back to giving comp tickets to community groups instead. I believe fans donated for those tickets and the club matched the donations so there was money raised to fund them, several thousand pounds if I remember correctly.

Poverty is a huge barrier to people being able to go to games which is why I'm happy they've frozen prices for this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the upshot was that because of the pay out, we couldn't charge for season tickets or something like that. I felt guilty because we received a season's free TV and another season of free season tickets. A fair few fans were uncomfortable with that and paid for their tickets either in full or in part.

People in here have been bemoaning our abilities to compete with St Mirren and Kilmarnock as recently as the January transfer window, yet we want to essentially reduce our capability to match them in financial terms 🤷♂️.

I personally don't think given the number of season ticket holders we have just now that the extra revenue from increasing prices would amount to an awful lot of money. We'll get far more revenue if we make 7th We can't match them. Because we don't have the fanbase they do. And as other people have said on here 6k a week of KVVs wages is being paid by one of the Killie directors As I said in previous posts. This isn't the first time in recent years the club has frozen prices. They raised them last year compared to the previous year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the free season tickets post Covid, can anyone give a definitive answer to this? It’s been said a few times and I’m sure it’s correct but other insist on calling it a load of bull. Was there ever an official statement from the club, something said at an AGM or is it just an urban myth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
